During our visit to PG County we were able to get some preliminary reviews of the traffic pro bed from the MTD staff. Since the truck bed’s delivery in July, MTD staff find their Traffic Pro Bed very helpful.

TRAFFIC PRO BED HAS MADE IT TO THE CAPITAL. PRINCE GEORGE’S COUNTY'S MAINTENANCE & TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT WELCOME ITS FIRST TRAFFIC PRO BED TO IT'S RANKS. – JULY 2020
While expressing his excitement for the new addition to the fleet, Ed Jones, one of the county's driving forces in adopting the innovation, said about the truck bed, "Once the others see it, they (the other county districts will want one."
For their first of two truck beds, Prince George’s County’s opted for Traffic Pro Beds' more recent upgrade – it's patented Cone Drive system. This feature allows workers easy access to every cone on the bed during a standard job, without the assistance of another worker. Increasing work force efficiency on the bed by 33%, with no cuts to the bed's innovative safety measures.
